Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 472 The Escaped Princess of the Mining Nation
"How about it?"

Wu Ge walked over curiously and squatted down.

This was the first time he had ever seen a Pokémon like Diamond Smash, and he was quite curious.

The Little Diamonds are born deep underground under high temperature and pressure; this species has been sleeping underground for hundreds of millions of years.

Humans can only see him in caves or mines.

Wu Ge primarily operates on land, and secondarily in the sea.

He hadn't actually seen many of these underground Pokémon.

"Hmm, the skin is a bit rough, but the ears are quite soft, and there's a ring of fluffy down around them, which gives them a similar fleshy feel."

“These are their beards.”

Wu Ge reached out and tugged at Xiao Suizuan's ear.

"It's better to be careful. The Pokémon living here probably still retain the wildness of ancient times. Don't underestimate the danger of Little Diamond just because it looks cute."

Monet, standing behind him, offered a reminder.

As a patrolman stationed in Guxiang Town.

They often see Pokémon like Diamond Smash.

After all, there are so many mineral veins and caves near Guxiang Town that small diamond fragments often appear inside.

They often rescue these children who run like rabbits but are actually very slow.

Because small diamonds are often snatched by Sableye and Garchomp.

The former refers to eating.

The latter is simply a matter of liking.

Just like how ravens love things that glow.

If you see Garchomp chasing and beating Sableye in the wild, it's highly likely that Sableye is bullying Diamond Smash.

Monet and his friends often rescued the little diamonds from the hands of Sableye or from the dens of Garchomp, and then threw the children back into the mine.

Perhaps that's why.

These rangers in their red uniforms have earned a reputation as 'good people' among the Little Diamonds.

Small diamonds usually won't run away if they see them.

They might even proactively ask for help or offer personal assistance.

Missy.

The little diamond twitched its ears, looked around, and then hopped away, the black flower on its head remaining firmly in place.

They look like they're looking for something.

But this thing is very special.

Their situation is so unique that they cannot seek help from 'good people' like rangers.

"By the way, I've heard some rangers say recently that there are more small diamonds appearing in the forests near Guxiang Town, which is why some Sableye and Garchomp have started to show up."

One of the rangers suddenly remembered something and mentioned it.

"Huh? I've heard about that recently too, but I heard it from the miners in Guxiang Town. They often see small diamond fragments passing by their legs while mining, and they've even taken them home."

Another ranger spoke up after hearing what he said.

It was precisely at this moment.

Missy.

Missy.

A series of tiny diamond-like sounds came from my ears.

Look down.

Four or five small diamonds of different sizes passed by.

As they hopped past Wu Ge and the others, a few tiny diamonds stopped and glanced at them before continuing on their way.

“Diabloom is a Pokémon that lives in high-temperature environments, while ancient Pokémon generally have very low temperature requirements. The surface temperature would make them feel a bit cold, not to mention the temperature in the underground world. But even so, a large number of Diabloom have still come out, which is obviously not right.”

Monet waved, signaling them to follow.
"Either the lives of Smudge were affected by something, like Kabuto and Aggron, and they were released in large numbers, or it was because of the large number of Smudges that other ancient Pokémon chose to migrate."

She planned to follow the little diamond.

Look what these little guys are looking for.

Cynthia enthusiastically pulled Wu Ge's hand and followed.

'The little princess of the mining kingdom has run away again.'

Wu Ge yawned.

He probably already guessed what had happened.

He couldn't think of any other reason besides Princess Tianci of the Mining Kingdom escaping from underground that could make these tiny diamonds emerge from the ground.

It's not that being a princess of a mining country means Diancie has no personal freedom and must spend her entire life in the diamond mining country.

However, one should at least bring a few guards when traveling.

After all, humans are very greedy. They can't resist diamonds, so what more can they ask for when they see Diancie?
Moreover, there are Pokémon that feed on these diamonds.

Even though Diancie is a Master-level Pokémon, there is no shortage of Pokémon that would dare to challenge her.

As for why a genderless mythical Pokémon is called a 'princess'?
It's simply a matter of judging based on factors such as appearance, looks, and behavioral habits.

Just like Maya.

Although it is a genderless Mythical Pokémon, its appearance, behavior, voice, and personality are like those of a little girl.

Not to mention the people who created her, who predetermined it from the moment she was born—Mageana was a girl.

Tianxi looks like a little girl.

The voice in the animation sounds like a cute little girl.

Although I guessed the reason.

But there is no evidence.

Therefore, Wu Ge did not directly tell Monet and his group.

They secretly followed the group of small diamonds and then discovered a problem.

The tiny diamonds don't have a fixed goal at all.

They were just aimlessly searching for something.

If you encounter other Pokémon, fight if you can beat them, and run away if you can't.

Sometimes when the little diamonds escape, they lose their formation and scatter like stars.

Presumably, the lone little diamond they first encountered was separated from its companions during the escape.

"No, following them like this won't help us find the problem. Let's split up into groups of three and try to capture any Pokémon that are willing to communicate, and ask them what happened or what they know."

Monet raised his hand and waved.

The six rangers, including her, automatically split into two teams.

Then they looked at Cynthia and Wu Ge. "We..."

"Can we go alone? We need to find this."

Wu Ge stopped Cynthia from speaking and raised the detector in his hand.

"Emmm, okay. You should remember the way back. It's on that mountain."

Monet stroked his chin for a moment, then agreed.

The way back is easy to find.

In this underground world, you could probably find the mountain where the fossil pterosaur lived from anywhere, so you wouldn't have to worry about getting lost.

As for the dangers...
Although Cynthia lacks a shotgun, her mobility in this natural environment may not be as good as that of her rangers.
But she's strong enough.

Said without politeness.

Cynthia can take on all six of them by herself.

So let's discuss this.

These rangers, traveling in groups, might not necessarily be safer than Cynthia.

A star trainer recognized by the Pokémon League.

Their strength must be far superior to that of ordinary rangers, let alone a trainer recognized by Dr. Blatano.

"Okay, then let's meet in the river at dusk?"

Cynthia glanced at Wu Ge.

She had originally planned to stay by Monet's side.

However, since Lucario has his own ideas.

Of course, we can let him have his way.

"Alright, that's settled. Be careful, and if you encounter an enemy you can't handle, make a big enough commotion to attract more Pokémon, create chaos, and escape in the confusion."

Monet nodded and gave a word of advice.

The crowd dispersed as a result.

Wu Ge pulled Cynthia toward the center of this underground world.

"Lucario, why don't we act together with the others?"

Cynthia hugged Wu Ge's arm and gently blew into his ear.

"Don't you want to see the roots of the central sun tree? If we follow Monet and the others, we might not be able to explore this underground world freely."

Wu Ge twitched its ears and slapped her rump with its tail.
"Don't brag."

"Haha~"

Cynthia smiled and stopped being naughty.

She jogged forward a couple of steps, glancing at the grass beneath her feet and then at the giant trees beside her, her eyes filled with what looked like tiny snowflakes.

"Be careful not to fall."

"Good~"

The two walked and stopped, joking and laughing as they went.

It was as if they weren't in a perilous, ancient underground world, but rather in their own little garden.

I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.

The massive roots of the sun tree always seemed so close.

But in reality, it gives people the feeling that it is difficult to get close no matter which way you go.

"Roar!"

A tremendous roar came from ahead.

Wu Ge and Cynthia exchanged a glance, bent down and crept forward, then disappeared into a bush.

Peek out.

The roots of the Yang tree were already in sight.

It stretches to the heavens and descends into the earth, its exact length and destination unknown.

Beneath that root, another ancient Pokémon species lives.

These were the same Tyrannosaurus Rex and baby Tyrannosaurus Rex that we had seen before.

The number is no more than twenty.

Baby Tyrannosaurus Rex make up half of the population.

Several chubby little creatures bumped into each other or pounced on one another, looking quite energetic.

The monstrous dinosaurs, on the other hand, were quite relaxed.

Lying down beside the rhizome, basking in the sun.

The sunlight transmitted through the roots of the sun tree immediately shone on them, making the large creatures drowsy.

One of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was very large.

The average size of a monstrous dinosaur is only 2.5 meters.

That monstrous dinosaur was over five meters long.

He must be the leader of this monstrous-jawed dragon clan.

"They're not wary at all, as if they have no natural enemies. They must be the most powerful group in this underground world, right?"

Hirona secretly observed from within the bushes.

"Yeah, almost."

Wu Ge nodded.

Based on the waveguide intensity he perceived.

The most powerful one in this Tyrannosaurus Rex pack is roughly at the early stage of reaching the Elite Four level, possibly around the same level as him.

In such a small underground world, the birth of a king-level leader is already quite remarkable.

There wasn't even a near-elite king among the fossil pterosaurs.

In addition, the Tyrannosaurus Rex clan occupies the very center of this underground world.

This strange-jawed dragon head is most likely the strongest.

But not necessarily.

The size of this underground world is large enough to give birth to a "ruler".

In any case, judging from the size of the monster's head, it's definitely not him who will be the overlord.

It's also possible that no overlord has ever been born in this underground world.

If so.

With Wu Ge's strength, he can be considered the 'strongest' in this underground world.
